Galasso has indicated he plans to complete the fall semester
academically at UNC before transferring for the spring semester to another NCAA
Division I lacrosse program.

"Obviously, it's disappointing to have a young man like
Nicky leave our program. We appreciate
all that he has brought to Carolina lacrosse over the past two years and we
wish him the best of luck both academically and athletically at his new
school. Nicky leaves here in great
academic standing and we're proud of the way he achieved in the classroom at
UNC," said Breschi.

As a freshman in 2011, Galasso was the ACC Freshman of the
Year, just the fourth in UNC history, and a third-team USILA All-America at
attack. He led UNC in scoring with 56
points that season including 24 goals and a UNC freshman record 32 assists.

After breaking his foot in November 2011,
Galasso returned to the Tar Heels in February 2012 but was never at full
strength during the course of the season.
He saw action last year in a reserve role and as an extra-man specialist
as junior Marcus Holman and freshmen Jimmy Bitter and Joey Sankey played the
starting roles on the attack unit. All
three of those players return to the Carolina lineup this season. Galasso had six goals and three assists for
nine points while playing in 13 games last season.
